Application filed July 14, 1903. Renewed April l, 1905. Serial No. 253322.

To all whom, it may cmwcrn:

Be it known that I, NEWMAN R. MARsHMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, in the county of NewYork and State of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Manual Goal- Carrying Vessels or Bags; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others slilled in the art to make and use the same.

My invention relates to the handling and delivery of coal manually at what are generally known as apartment-houses or flats and where hoisting-dummies are used to hoist the vessel holding the coal to the floor as desired.

The main features of myinvention consist, first, in providing a means by which the party receiving the coal on a given floor will not he called upon to lift or carry the bag or vessel holding the coal from the dumny or hoist to the receptacle provided to receive it; second that in the discharge of the coal from said vessel or bag on hoist or dummy there shall he no dust or dirt escape into the apartment.

Having stated briefly the nature of my invention and its use, I will show how I obtain these results by the accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure 1 is a sectional side view of a dummy having my improved bag or vessel and frame for holding the same resting on the floor of hoistable part of dummy; Fig. 2, a part front View of vessel or bag; Fig. 3, an attachable and detachable discharge passage-way; Fig. 4, a box.

Referring to Fig. 1. there will be seen a track A, of which there will be two, resting or made fast to the floor of dummy B. C is a base sliding on tracls A. To this slding base C is an upright post D, to which is hinged a swinging arm E at F. Attached to this Swinging arm E at G is another outward-extending arm H, having a hook I. Attached at the lower free end of the swinging arm E is a pivoted arm J, having notches cut in it at K. L is a frame attached to the slidingbase C, sharpened at M. Having called attention to the different parts of this auxiliary supporting- 'rame, I would state that its use is for the purpose of bringing` the vessel or bag N forward from the dummy so as the mouth O of said bag or vessel will be in a position to discharge into the box, (drawings, Fig. 4,) said box resting on the floor of the apartment. This bag or vessel N has a ring made fast to it at P. This ring is Suspended on a hook I, so that the mouth end of the bag swings free, the bag N resting against the swnging arm E. It will he seen that by drawing the sliding frame C forward the suspended vessel or bag comes forward with it. Now take hold of the pivoted arm J, drag it forward until the mouth of the bag N fully frees the base C, as shown by dotted lines Z, fasten it to the upright frame L by the cut notches K, and you have a slanting frame for vessel or bag to rest on.

To further cover any intermediate space hetween the mouth of the bag and box, Fig. 4, I have provided an attachable and detachable discharge passage-way. (Drawings,Fig. 3.) This attachment is shown in the form of a box. Attached to it are latches R R. These latches R R fit over pins S S, (Better shown in drawings, Fig. 2, by letters S S.)

I would state that the lower part of the vessel or the bag N is rigid and the upper part fieXible. The rigid part (better shown in drawings, Fig. 2) has what I call a sliding shutter or cut-off T working in the grooves V V. This sliding shutter has handles X X. The object of this sliding shutter is that the party receiving the coal may receive all the coal at once or cut it off and receive a portion later.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a manual coal-carrying vessel or bag, the attachable and detachable discharge passage-way in combination with a sliding shutter or cut-off.

2. In a manual coal-carrying vessel or bag the sliding shutter or cut-off in combi'nation with the auxiliary supporting-frame.

3. In a manual coal-carrying vessel or bag the supporting slanting frame.

4. ln a manual coal-carrying vessel or bag, the tracks or rails as and for the purpose described.
